The Verify.IM API

Verify.IM offers a FREE API for approved partners. Not only can you increase the level of trust at your website between members you can also increase your bottom line. Simply by encouraging your membership to enroll in the Verify.IM program via your business' Verify.IM badge or link you can generate revenue each time someone signs up and then upgrades at anytime to a stronger verification level. Learn more here.

How much is trust worth between your members and visitors at your site? It's invaluable and it's now FREE. Integrating our verification API is simple. Data is returned in either JSON or XML and can easily be added to your web site in a matter of minutes via a CURL call.

In accordance with our privacy policy we only return member approved public data. At the present time it is limited to the following:

account type
user name
first name
last name
business name
level of verification
age threshold
high resolution barcode url
barcode url
photo url
vcard url
badge url
signature line 1
signature line 2

Try Our Sample Source Code

In the near future we will be offering vCard URLs & business hours as part of our API. Due to the nature of the data included in an individuals vCard the member must manually enable the vcard feature before it is made public via the API, mobile profile or standard desktop profile.

How It Works

Within your application you request that your user provides either their Verify.IM user name or complete Verify.IM URL. You then pass the Username or URL to use via a simple CURL GET request and we send back either JSON or XML output for you to store in your database.
